The zero point in time tour. - We came all the way from USA to witness the site that push back the timeline of human civilization by 5000 years. Selim emerged us in the rich cultural history of Urfa. A true local of the area. He is why visiting a site in person is way better than seeing it on the internet. Selim was also an awesome photographer. You will love the photos he takes for you!

Amazing and informative tour! - My tour with Selim was fun and informative. He explained in a lot of depth about the history of Urfa, Gobeklitepe, Karantepe and the Kızılkoyun Necropolis. I learned a great deal about Urfa's local culture and food, with plenty of restaurant recommendations. Selim is very attentive and communicative, ensuring that my travel arrangements were not disrupted by the weather. I highly recommend the tour!

Wonderful winter tour - Selim is an excellent guide and an expert on local history and culture! We had a fantastic day as he showed me Harran and Gobeklitepe, petting cats and enjoying a delicious lunch. He is very responsive on WhatsApp and easy to chat with in person. I highly recommend Selim and his company!

Wonderful One-Day Tour to Göbeklitepe - We had such a great one-day tour to Göbeklitepe! Our guide, Ibrahim, was super friendly, attentive, and really knew his stuff. Everything was well-organized. We had plenty of time to enjoy each place without feeling rushed, and we got to see exactly what we were hoping for. We also tried delicious Şanliurfa kebab for lunch. Highly recommend this tour!

1 day tour of Gobekli Tepe and area - After much searching for a short trip to Gobekli Tepe I was so happy to find this 1 day tour of the site along with other nearby attractions like the museum, mosaics, Abraham’s fish pool, necropolis, and the bazaar! There was plenty of time to make all of this relaxed and at my own pace. My guide, Selim took me to a lunch spot after Gobekli Tepe and ensured that as a vegetarian I was well fed! He did a great job of explaining the sites, and having grown up in the area had plenty of stories of his own adventures so it added to the whole experience! He even showed me a video he took when they discovered a new statue at Gobekli Tepe, and the local news station used that video in their broadcast! On the way to the airport I had brought up the desserts here and he asked me if I wanted to make a pit stop to a Baklava shop! I was able to pick up some fresh Baklava to take home - I’ll try my best not to dig into it before I get there. He even told me how to reheat it after it’s been in the fridge to help make it taste as fresh as it is now when I serve it back home. I highly recommend booking a trip with Selim if you’re short on time like I was and wanted to see Gobekli Tepe, however, he also does longer tours, so you can explore more of this incredible area!
